The temperatures are forecast to drop to levels that make me whine and mope, so I bid temporary farewell to the gang at Buckeye Hills Regional Park and returned to the Ogilby Road area west of Yuma.
Jo and Lou will join me in a couple of days. In the meantime, I need to scout for a spot that will suit our needs. Large enough, private enough, quiet enough, no tricky access for Lou's trailer, good cell signal... Some shelter from the winds that will be coming would be nice, but not likely. Barring that, we'd at least like to avoid dust in that wind.
In *Exploring Death Valley* (3rd Ed., 1976) by Ruth Kirk, she says November through January are the best times to visit. Weather conditions vary, but one gets the impression it's warmer than Yuma.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm forming an Overland Expedition (see: http://expeditionportal.com/ for aesthetic sense) to the Baja....hope to leave early-mid January. Any interest in coming along? It's warmer there.
